Abstract
Background Hematopoietic stem cell transplants (HSCT) can be performed regardless of the ABO group compatibility between donor and recipient. ABO incompatibility in HSCT is related to pure red cell aplasia (PRCA), or passenger lymphocyte syndrome. The impact of ABO incompatibility on graft-versus-host disease and transplant-related mortality is controversial due to the heterogeneity of procedures carried out in different transplant centers. Objective To determine the prevalence of ABO incompatibility and its complications in a hematopoietic stem transplant unit. Material and methods An observational, retrospective study was carried out in patients undergoing HSCT from January 2014 to January 2020. All trasplant patients were included. Qualitative variables were analyzed using chi-squared test, and Wilcoxon and Student's t tests were used for quantitative variables. A p < 0.05 was considered significant. Results 124 patients undergoing HSCT were analyzed, out of which 31 had ABO incompatibility, with a punctual prevalence of 24.4%; among them, 54% presented with major incompatibility, 32% minor incompatibility and 13% bidirectional incompatibility. Three cases of PRCA were reported. There were no differences in survival at one year in both groups. Conclusions The ABO incompatibility ant its complications were not related to the increase in mortality. Randomized prospective studies are required to define the role of ABO incompatibility in HSCT prognosis.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT) is usually performed in
well-equipped units inside a hospital. The cost of this in-hospital transplant
is usually very high; therefore, this procedure is more difficult to perform in
low- and middle-income countries. Autologous outpatient HSCT is now a common
procedure; however, outpatient allogeneic transplants are more complicated. Only
a few centers in the world have incorporated outpatient HSCT. This transplant
requires special adaptation, like a day hospital, careful selection of patients,
oral medications, and the patient must live relatively close to the hospital.
The results until now suggest that this outpatient transplant is factible and
similar to inpatient HSCT. The objective was to review and describe the
different methods and results following an outpatient allogeneic-HSCT
strategy.

Abstract
The impact of ABO incompatibility on transplantation outcomes in severe aplastic anemia (SAA) patients receiving haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) remains controversial without published data. A total of 199 SAA patients receiving haploidentical HSCT from ABO-matched (n = 114), minor ABO-incompatible (n = 47), or major ABO-incompatible donors (n = 38) were included in this study. The median time and cumulative incidences of both myeloid and platelet engraftment in the ABO-compatible and ABO-incompatible groups were similar, and pure red cell aplasia was absent. Minor ABO incompatibility increased the rate of grade III-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) (ABO compatible: 6.14 ± 0.05%, minor incompatible: 19.15 ± 0.34%, and major incompatible: 10.53 ± 0.25%; P = 0.051), but did not influence the rates of grade II-IV aGVHD or chronic GVHD (cGVHD). Minor ABO-incompatibility was identified as an independent risk factor for grade III-IV aGVHD by multivariate analysis (hazard ration (HR) = 4.00 (1.48-10.80), P = 0.006). Chronic GVHD, mortality, and treatment failure were not increased in the minor ABO-incompatible group. For SAA patients receiving haploidentical HSCT, ABO compatible donors are better than ABO minor incompatible donors if several haploidentical donors are available.

Abstract
BACKGROUND During major ABO-mismatched bone marrow transplant (BMT), the infusion of incompatible red blood cells (RBCs) that are present in the bone marrow graft can cause adverse events from hemolysis. RBC depletion of the bone marrow graft can decrease this risk, but the optimal method to prevent hemolysis is unclear. PROCEDURE We conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent major ABO-mismatched BMT at a pediatric center and had RBC depletion with either hydroxyethyl starch (HES) sedimentation or Ficoll density gradient separation. Postinfusion hemoglobinuria and creatinine values were compared. RESULTS Between 2002 and 2016, 37 patients received HES-treated and 16 patients received Ficoll-treated major ABO-mismatched bone marrow grafts. The median residual volume of RBCs was significantly greater with HES-treated grafts (HES 21.0 ml vs. Ficoll 1.4 ml, P < 0.0001). Patients who received HES-treated grafts had a higher prevalence of postinfusion hemoglobinuria (HES 57% vs. Ficoll 6%, P = 0.0009), but renal impairment was rare. Considering only HES-treated grafts, the volume of RBCs was not associated with either postinfusion hemoglobinuria or a creatinine increase. CONCLUSIONS Ficoll density gradient separation achieves smaller RBC volumes and less postinfusion hemoglobinuria than HES sedimentation, but both can prevent significant hemolysis. Further studies are needed to determine the residual incompatible RBC volume threshold in major ABO-mismatched BMT.

Abstract
The impact of ABO mismatch has been studied on various hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) outcomes, including neutrophil and platelet engraftment, pure red cell aplasia, acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), nonrelapse mortality (NRM), and overall survival (OS). Yet conflicting results have been reported. However, the impact of ABO mismatch on transplant outcomes with various graft types has not been carefully investigated. We analyzed the impact of various graft sources and type of ABO mismatch on transplant outcomes for 1502 patients who underwent HCT at the University of Minnesota between 2000 and 2014: 312 receiving marrow (BM), 475 filgrastim-mobilized blood (peripheral blood stem cell [PBSC]), and 715 umbilical cord blood (UCB) grafts. Neutrophil engraftment by day 28 was marginally less frequent in the bidirectional ABO mismatched transplants receiving UCB, whereas ABO matching had no influence on engraftment in the BM or PBSC cohorts. ABO mismatch led to no significant differences in platelet engraftment irrespective of stem cell source. We observed a modest but not significantly lower incidence of grades II/IV acute GVHD in the bidirectional ABO mismatched transplants in the UCB and the PBSC cohorts but not in the BM group. We found a higher incidence of chronic GVHD in the PBSC group, but it was not significantly lower in the minor ABO mismatched transplants. The incidence of chronic GVHD was similar in the major ABO mismatched transplants receiving BM. We found no significant difference in the OS and NRM between ABO matched and ABO mismatched transplants within each of the 3 graft source groups. Multivariable analysis adjusting for other relevant factors confirmed that ABO match status did not significantly influence the outcomes of either engraftment, acute or chronic GVHD or NRM. We conclude that ABO mismatch does not influence the outcomes of allogeneic HCT, regardless of stem cell source.

Abstract
ABO blood group antigen incompatibility (ABO mismatch) is not an obstacle to allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT). However, the impact on clinical outcome after allo-SCT remains controversial. We analyzed 512 patients after allogeneic peripheral blood SCT (allo-PBSCT) for an association of ABO mismatch with transfusion requirements, myeloid and platelet engraftment, the incidence of GvHD, relapse, transplant-related mortality (TRM), and overall survival (OS). A total of 260 patients underwent ABO-mismatched transplantation and the control group consisted of 252 patients with ABO-matched allo-PBSCT. We found a significant association between major-0 ABO mismatch (group 0 recipient/group A, B, or AB donor) and increased red blood cell (RBC) and platelet transfusion requirements (both P<.001) as well as delayed platelet engraftment (P<.001). Minor-A (group A recipient/group 0 donor) and minor-AB (group AB recipient/group 0, A, or B donor) ABO mismatch was significantly associated with an increased TRM after allo-PBSCT (P=.001 and P=.02). In multivariate analysis performed using Cox regression, minor ABO mismatch appeared as independent risk factor for TRM after allo-PBSCT. No association was found for ABO mismatch with the incidence of GvHD, relapse, and OS. Our results suggest that ABO blood group mismatch has a significant impact on the outcome and that minor-A and minor-AB ABO mismatch represents a risk factor for increased TRM after allo-PBSCT.

Abstract
CONTEXT Musculoskeletal injuries may be painful, troublesome, life limiting and also one of the global health problems. There has been considerable amount of interest during the past two decades to stem cells and tissue engineering techniques in orthopedic surgery, especially to manage special and compulsive injuries within the musculoskeletal system. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION The aim of this study was to present a literature review regarding the most recent progress in stem cell procedures and current indications in orthopedics clinical care practice. The Medline and PubMed library databases were searched for the articles related with stem cell procedures in the field of orthopedic surgery and additionally the reference list of each article was also included to provide a comprehensive evaluation. RESULTS Various sources of stem cells have been studied for orthopedics clinical care practice. Stem cell therapy has successfully used for major orthopedic procedures in terms of bone-joint injuries (fractures-bone defects, nonunion, and spinal injuries), osteoarthritis-cartilage defects, ligament-tendon injuries, femoral head osteonecrosis and osteogenesis imperfecta. Stem cells have also used in bone tissue engineering in combining with the scaffolds and provided faster and better healing of tissues. CONCLUSIONS Large amounts of preclinical studies have been made of stem cells and there is an increasing interest to perform these studies within the human population but preclinical studies are insufficient; therefore, much more and efficient studies should be conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of stem cells.

Abstract
Haematopoietic cell transplants are done by more than 1500 transplant centres in 75 countries, mostly for life-threatening haematological disorders. However, transplant technology and access are not uniformly distributed worldwide. Most transplants are done predominately in Europe, North America and some Asian countries. We review transplant activity in Latin America, a geographic region with a population of >600 million persons living in countries with diverse economic and social development levels. These data indicate a 20-40-fold lower frequency of transplants in Latin America compared with Europe and North America. We show that although economics, infrastructure and expertise are important limitations, other variables also operate. Changes in several of these variables may substantially increase transplant activity in Latin America.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a curative option for a variety of malignant and non-malignant hematological and congenital diseases. Due to the fact that the human leukocyte antigen system is inherited independently of the blood group system, approximately 40-50% of all HSCTs are performed across the ABO blood group barrier. The expected immune-hematological consequences after transplantation of an ABO-mismatched stem cell graft are immediate and delayed hemolytic complications due to presence of isohemagglutinins or passenger lymphocyte syndrome. The risks of these complications can partially be prevented by graft manipulation and appropriate transfusion support. Dependent on the kind of ABO mismatch, different effects on engraftment have been observed, e.g. delayed red blood cell recovery and pure red cell aplasia. Data on incidence of acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), non-relapse mortality, relapse, and overall survival are inconsistent as most studies include limited patient numbers, various graft sources, and different conditioning and GVHD prophylaxis regimens. This makes it difficult to detect a consistent effect of ABO-mismatched transplantation in the literature. However, knowledge of expectable complications and close monitoring of patients helps to detect problems early and to treat patients efficiently, thus reducing the number of fatal or life-threatening events caused by ABO-mismatched HSCT.

Abstract
Introduction Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) hold great promise for regenerative therapies in the musculoskeletal system. Although MSCs from bone marrow (BM-MSCs) and adipose tissue (AD-MSCs) have been extensively characterized, there is still debate as to the ideal source of MSCs for tissue-engineering applications in bone repair. Methods MSCs were isolated from cortical bone fragments (CBF-MSCs) obtained from patients undergoing laminectomy, selected by fluorescence-activated cell sorting analysis, and tested for their potential to undergo mesodermic differentiation. CBF-MSCs were then compared with BM-MSCs and AD-MSCs for their colony-forming unit capability and osteogenic potential in both normoxia and hypoxia. After 2 and 4 weeks in inducing media, differentiation was assessed qualitatively and quantitatively by the evaluation of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) expression and mineral deposition (Von Kossa staining). Transcriptional activity of osteoblastogenesis-associated genes (Alp, RUNX2, Spp1, and Bglap) was also analyzed. Results The cortical fraction of the bone contains a subset of cells positive for MSC-associated markers and capable of tri-lineage differentiation. The hypoxic conditions were generally more effective in inducing osteogenesis for the three cell lines. However, at 2 and 4 weeks, greater calcium deposition and ALP expression were observed in both hypoxic and normoxic conditions in CBF-MSCs compared with AD- and BM-MSCs. These functional observations were further corroborated by gene expression analysis, which showed a significant upregulation of Bglap, Alp, and Spp1, with a 22.50 (±4.55)-, 46.56 (±7.4)-, 71.46 (±4.16)-fold increase compared with their uninduced counterparts. Conclusions This novel population of MSCs retains a greater biosynthetic activity in vitro, which was found increased in hypoxic conditions. The present study demonstrates that quantitative differences between MSCs retrieved from bone marrow, adipose, and the cortical portion of the bone with respect to their osteogenic potential exist and suggests the cortical bone as suitable candidate to use for orthopedic tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

Avecilla ST, Marionneaux SM, Leiva TD, Tonon JA, Chan VT, Moung C, Meagher RC, Maslak P. Comparison of manual hematocrit determinations versus automated methods for hematopoietic progenitor cell apheresis products. Transfusion 2015; 56:528-32. [PMID: 26395285 DOI: 10.1111/trf.13346] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2015] [Revised: 08/17/2015] [Accepted: 08/24/2015] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell donor selection is based primarily on human leukocyte antigen degree of match and it often occurs without regard to the red blood cell (RBC) compatibility between donor and recipient. When major ABO-mismatched grafts are infused, it is imperative that an accurate determination of the incompatible RBC content is made to ensure that the product is safe for infusion. RBC content determination requires the hematocrit (Hct) parameter which can be obtained via manual (directly measured) or automated (calculated) methods. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS Ninety-seven apheresis hematopoietic progenitor grafts were assessed for Hct by manual testing and by four commercially available automated hematology analyzer instruments. A clinical model was developed to assess the frequency of unnecessary RBC reductions or alteration in standard infusion practice. RESULTS Significant (p < 0.001) differences were observed where the manual Hct value was markedly lower than automated Hct values. At stringent incompatible RBC threshold of 10 mL, the number of preventable RBC reduction procedures ranged from 18% to 69%. CONCLUSION Accurate determination of RBC content of hematopoietic progenitor grafts is essential for patient safety. Despite the rapidity and convenience offered by automated Hct methods, they significantly overestimate the incompatible RBC content of grafts, which may trigger unnecessary RBC reduction procedures or split infusions. In products where automated Hct methods indicate excessive amounts of incompatible RBCs are present, we advise the performance of confirmatory testing with a manual Hct method to ensure that the automated Hct value is not a false positive.

Abstract
This study looked into a family involving a rare mother-child ABO blood type inconsistency and explored its genetic and molecular basis. In the family, the mother had type AB blood and the father was blood type B and they gave birth to a baby of blood type O. Their blood types were phenotypically identified by using different techniques, including micro-column gel test, immune inhibition test, absorption and elution tests. The sequences of all 7 exons of ABO allele from the core family members were determined by using PCR and clone-based sequencing. The loci of mutated gene were compared against normal human genes. The result showed that the mother's erythrocytes were agglutinable with monoclonal anti-A antibody (2+) and had agglutination reaction with anti-B antibody (4+). The mother's serum registered agglutination action with standard blood type A cells. The findings showed an ABO inconsistency. When domestic antibodies were used, the mother's erythrocytes yielded agglutination reaction with humanized anti-B serum (4+) and anti-B monoclonal antibody but were non-agglutinable with humanized anti-A serum and anti-A monoclonal antibody. Upon absorption and elution, the titer of anit-A antibody was 128 both before and after the absorption test, with no significant difference found between pre- and post-absorption values. Our results confirmed that the mother's allelic gene was type B and contained type A. The father's blood type was type B, and son's blood type was type O. Clone-based sequencing revealed that the mother carried a heterozygous gene of B101.01 (ntA640→G)/O01, which contained an M214→V mutation that could express a weak expression of antigen A, resulting in blood type AB. However, their son did not have the M214→V mutation, which yielded a false ABO-inconsistency between him and his mother. We were led to conclude that type B gene with a M214→V mutation can encode both antigen B and weak antigen B that can lead to false ABO-inconsistencies.
